Hot take: I was dead wrong about biodiesel being junk for old Cummins engines

Ran 20% blend in my 12-valve for 6 months after a guy in Boise swore by it and the injectors came out cleaner than any solvent flush I ever did has anyone else tried higher blends or am I just lucky?

Good on you for posting this, man. It takes guts to admit when a hot take turned out wrong.

Totally been there. Had a whole rant about how VR would never catch on. Eating crow on that one now lol.

Yeah "takes guts" is exactly right. I had a similar moment a few years back when I was dead certain a certain game was going to flop hard, and I posted all my reasons why. Turned out I was completely wrong, the game did great, and I felt dumb for a bit. What helped me was just owning up to it right there in the thread like "okay I was way off base on that one" instead of trying to explain it away. People actually respected that way more than if I'd doubled down or just deleted my posts. It's a good feeling when you can admit you messed up and move on lol.
